  • Dynamics and Stability of Resonant Rings in Galaxies B
    Astronomy Reports, Vol. 44, No. 5, 2000, pp. 279–285. Translated from Astronomicheskiœ Zhurnal, Vol. 77, No. 5, 2000, pp. 323–330. Original Russian Text Copyright © 2000 by Kondrat’ev. Dynamics and Stability of Resonant Rings in Galaxies B. P. Kondrat’ev Udmurt State University, Krasnoarmeœskaya ul. 71, Izhevsk, 426034 Russia Received December 24, 1998 Abstract—We have developed a model for a spheroidal, ring-shaped galaxy. The stars move in a ring with an elliptical cross section at the 1 : 1 frequency resonance. The shape of the cross section of the equilibrium ring depends on the oblateness of the galaxy itself, so that the ellipse of the ring cross section is radially extended when the oblateness of the galaxy is small. If the oblateness of galaxy exceeds some critical value, the ellipse cross section is extended along the Ox3 axis. The shape of the ring cross section is circular for a galaxy with critical eccentricity. The stability of the ring over a wide range of perturbations is studied. A fundamental bicu- bic dispersion equation for the frequencies of small oscillations of a perturbed ring is derived. Application of the model to the ring galaxy NGC 7020 shows that its ring cross section should be approximately circular. Anal- ysis of the dispersion equation demonstrates that stellar orbits in the arm are unstable (but the instability incre- ment is small). We conclude that stars in the ring of this galaxy should drift from the 1 : 1 resonance, and the ring itself should evolve. © 2000 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”. 1.

  • Reducing Allergic Airway Inflammation with High-Density Microprojection Array Skin Patches
    Reducing allergic airway inflammation with high-density microprojection array skin patches Nicole Monica Dawn van der Burg Bachelor of Science (Hons I) in Biochemistry and Genetics A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology I. Abstract Inflammation of the airways can be life threatening for those with T helper type 2 (Th2)-mediated allergies or allergic asthma. Despite the increasing prevalence of allergic diseases, there are no current vaccinations to prevent allergies. Desensitisation via allergy immunotherapy (AIT) is the only disease-modifying treatment available. This involves slowly building up a specific-tolerance to the allergic substance (allergen) through either subcutaneous injection or oral absorption. Yet allergy patients rarely undertake AIT as is it costly, time consuming and can increase the risk of life threatening anaphylaxis. These discouraging factors arise from the poorly optimised targeting of the current routes of AIT that do not target immunotherapy primarily to tolerant-inclined cells in order to maximise an allergen-specific tolerance response. Building allergen-specific tolerance is often similar either before (vaccination therapy) or after (desensitisation therapy) allergen sensitisation. Specific-tolerance is established when tolerant- inclined cells, such as skin epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs), present allergens to the immune system alongside tolerant signalling. Targeting the therapy to the skin has been notoriously challenging with current needle and syringe or topical patch methods. However, microprojection array (MPA) patches have begun to demonstrate rapid delivery of vaccine therapeutics as well as specific cell targeting into the upper layers of the skin.
